The Effects of Seismic Behavior on High Ground Stress Soft Rock Tunnel: A Review

The purpose of this review is to critically assess seismic activity's effects on soft rock tunnels under high ground stress scenarios. The paper seeks to identify key novelties and research gaps in the existing literature, offering new insights into analytical techniques, excavation methods, support systems, and monitoring technologies. A comprehensive review of recent studies was conducted, focusing on seismic behavior, analytical techniques, and mitigation strategies for soft rock tunnels. Case studies were selected based on their relevance to high ground stress conditions and their contribution to understanding seismic resilience. Significant findings include the identification of specific geological conditions that exacerbate seismic risks and the comparative effectiveness of various analytical techniques and support systems. Novel insights into the interaction of structural reinforcements and monitoring systems are also discussed. The review highlights new analytical techniques and advanced monitoring systems that improve predictive accuracy and early detection of seismic risks. It also proposes a refined approach to integrating mitigation strategies for enhanced tunnel resilience. Doi: ۱۰.۲۸۹۹۱/CEJ-۲۰۲۴-۰۱۰-۰۹-۰۲۰ Full Text: PDF
